Introducing the photographer
Rosario Edwards:
Photographer, Chicagoan,
and — to Most — known Simply as Rosie
Rosario photographs live events for brands and the agencies that build them — activations, launches, conferences, galas and special occasions across Chicago and nationwide.
His path to the work has been set through intention. A decade plus of working on 150+ live photo activations, a photography BFA from SCAD, and a Director of Photography credit on the DOC NYC Grand Jury–nominated documentary See Know Evil. The result is a photographer who understands the run-of-show from the production side, yet maintains the well trained eye of a veteran filmmaker and photographer.
Rosario has photographed events for clients like: Pantene, WWE, Dockers, UCAN, LinkedIn, FX Networks, Allbirds, S2G Ventures, Egon Zehnder, Louisiana Fish Fry, Lebron James Foundation, Judd Goldman Sailing Foundation, and March of Dimes.
